Moss is perhaps the most electrifying player on the list, as he ranks second all-time with 156 touchdown catches. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018.
Moss wasted no time carving out a career as one of the best deep threats of all time, averaging a whopping 19 yards per catch while scoring a league-leading 17 touchdowns as a rookie, then proceeded to post five more 1,200-yard seasons in the next five years.
Moss led the NFL in TD catches two more times with Minnesota, including during a 111-catch, 1,632-yard showcase in 2003.
Benjamin noted that Tarkenton "was one of the biggest reasons for the Vikings' 1970s surge, not to mention one of the league's first dominant dual-threat QBs." And he added that Peterson "wasn't just the best Vikings RB of all time but one of the best to ever play the game."
Cris Carter, Randall McDaniel, Carl Eller, John Randle and Paul Krause were listed as honorable mentions.
